MOreover we conceive, that it is not without great reason and wisdome ordained by God, that Christ should teach in the Church not by Angels, but by men; aswell because we are more ready to suffer our selves to be familiarly instructed
by such as our selves, then by spirits of a strange nature, and unwonted majesty; as for that, we might other∣wise be with more ease deceived by Satan pretending a mission from God, and transforming himself into an Angel of light: which two reasons are not the least in our judgement, why the Son of God, when he assu∣med the office of a Teacher in the Church, would be made man, our brother and familiar,* 1.1 and like unto us in all things, sin onely excepted; where∣unto that may be referred also;* 1.2 I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the Church will I sing praise unto thee; and that,* 1.3 In these last dayes he hath spoken unto us by his son, to wit, when he was made man, and con∣versed familiarly in the Church.
